Condition

This chromogenic print is in generally excellent condition. The color remains saturated, with no apparent fading. The margins appear to have darkened somewhat over time. Although the photographer did mark this print as one of a limite edition, the invoice from Pace/MacGill Gallery indicates that this print is from an edition of 25.
